Deel launches AI Workforce to streamline global HR & payroll
Deel has introduced its AI Workforce, a centralised solution for launching, managing, and creating AI agents and workflows directly within its platform. The new AI Workforce aims to enable businesses to embed AI agents into their company's workflow, drawing on information from Deel's existing HR and payroll systems, where vital data and core processes already reside. According to Deel's latest Payroll Report, pressures on HR and payroll teams remain high, with the burden increased by perceived understaffing. The report indicates that more than half of HR professionals feel that their teams are currently understaffed. This context has influenced the creation of the AI Workforce, designed to mitigate these challenges by automating administrative tasks and supporting real-time decision-making for HR leaders. Deel's AI Workforce will initially offer seven specialist AI agents focused on a range of HR and payroll requirements. Each agent is built based on the expertise of over 2,000 in-country specialists and is designed for compliance across more than 150 countries. The agents come with features for performance measurement such as hours saved, tasks completed, and reductions in errors, which can be tracked within the platform. The offering includes the option for customers to develop their own custom agents if needed. The seven AI agents available at launch are tailored to specific operational needs: The Hiring Guru, which analyses role requirements alongside budget to suggest optimal countries for candidate sourcing. The PTO Fairy, responsible for handling time off requests, assessing coverage, and updating records for more efficient approvals. The Border Buddy, specialising in compliance for remote work by comparing employee locations with local tax regulations. The Schedule Sheriff, managing workforce planning by spotting scheduling gaps across multiple time zones. The IT Guy, which recommends IT hardware based on employee roles and organisation headcount. The Offboarder, guiding users through compliant offboarding procedures aligned with location, employee type, and tenure. The Payroll Detective, focused on detecting payroll inconsistencies prior to disbursement by checking them against pre-set rules. The Beta launch allows Deel customers to deploy these pre-built AI agents swiftly across diverse organisational functions, including HR, payroll, talent acquisition, finance, and operations. Integration plans for the near future include compatibility with tools such as Slack and Zapier, intended to streamline adoption and allow businesses to incorporate additional agents as required. Deel also outlined that businesses will be able to manage, hire, and release AI agents, adapting workflows as operational needs evolve. "AI agents mark a turning point for global work," said Alex Bouaziz, Co-founder and CEO of Deel, "For HR and payroll leaders, that means going above simply automating tasks. It's about baking AI into already used and loved technology to remove the barriers that slow teams down. This will allow human creativity, ideas, talent, and opportunities to move as freely as the businesses they power." The launch reflects the growing intersection of artificial intelligence and workforce management, as companies continue to explore how automation can support both compliance and efficiency on a global scale.
